There is just too much stuff I hate about EU to state them. The other thread is more convenient for as stating things I like is easier.
Agreed. Though, there really isn’t anything I “like” about the EU off the top of my head, so I’m going to list my biggest problems (and “official canon” is guilty of some of these too).

Everything is stereotyped (not like TPM is racist stuff, and it’s not, you are for thinking it if you did)
Hutts are all crime lords, or are at least in the business. Also, all hutts are fat.
Rodians are all bounty hunters, or strive to be such. -
Everything that happened in the films is either contradicted, or completely underwhelmed/unnecessary by the EU. More superlasers. More giant Star Destroyers (yes, I remember Han’s line from ROTJ). More superlasers on more giant Star Destroyers.

It is almost completely created by bad writers, who can’t think of imaginative plots or characters.
I’m especially fond of one great writer who probably has the worst sense of scale in all the human race. According to this person’s math, there are ~3 clone troopers per republic planet, and are out numbered by the droid army by ~4 trillion:~3 million. Seriously. 3 million clones.
